Summary
Acting as Drainage Trustees, the Calhoun County Board authorized up to $20,000 in work (including tree removal) in Drainage District No. 126 and approved work order C-13-2026 for Drainage District 52 after a presentation by the county assistant drainage engineer.
At its April 14 meeting the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors, acting as Drainage Trustees, authorized drainage work in Drainage District No. 126 and approved a work order for Drainage District 52.
Eric Yunginger, assistant drainage engineer for Buena Vista/Calhoun/Sac counties, presented proposed work orders. The board authorized the work in Drainage District No. 126, Section 21 in Elm Grove Township (NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4), including removal of any trees needed to complete the work, at a cost not to exceed $20,000. The motion was made by Cory Ridgely, seconded by Dave George, and passed unanimously.
The board also approved work order C-13-2026 for Drainage District 52 by motion (George moved/Ridgely second). The county recorded that BJ Musselman, Curtis Vanderheiden and Nick Burley were present during the drainage discussion; no objections or alternative plans were entered into the minutes.
The Drainage Trustees concluded the hearing and the board resumed regular session. The minutes do not list contractor names or a detailed cost breakdown for District 52 work; the authorized cap and work order identifiers were recorded in the motion language.
Next procedural steps for the District 126 work—such as scheduling, contractor selection, or required notifications—were not specified in the minutes.
